The Hour Club: A Lifeline for Addicts and Alcoholics
We wanted this to be a transformative experience for people, not just a drying out place or a place where they go and check off a box.
Imagine a place where those struggling with addiction can find not just support, but a real sense of community. That's exactly what The Hour Club offers. In this episode of 'M2 The Rock', Michael Molthan chats with Marsha Williamson, the CEO of The Hour Club, about the incredible work being done by this organization. Founded in 1962 by Lee Tillman, The Hour Club has become a sanctuary for many battling addiction.
Marsha shares how the club provides vital resources like dental care through the Parkland Med Van, which offers everything from root canals to dentures for those in need. But it’s not just about medical support; The Hour Club is a hub for emotional and social connection too. With support groups tailored to different needs, including special care for women, it ensures no one feels alone in their recovery journey.
The women's group even offers 24/7 support, underscoring the club's commitment to its members. Marsha also talks about how The Hour Club organizes events and parties to show that sobriety doesn’t mean the end of fun. These gatherings help members learn to enjoy life without alcohol or drugs, fostering a sense of belonging and joy. Beyond its immediate members, The Hour Club works tirelessly to educate the broader community about addiction and the available resources.
Their advocacy efforts include hosting events aimed at raising awareness and funds to further their mission. Tune in to hear more about how The Hour Club is making a difference and why community support is crucial in the fight against addiction.
